Safely browsing the Internet

The Internet has become a powerful tool for many tasks, such as searching for information, communicating with friends and co-workers, shopping online and managing your finances.

In almost all of these cases, the primary tool you use is your browser, such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari or Firefox. Your browser is in many ways your gateway to the Internet. It is also the top target for cyber-criminals. By protecting your browser, you protect yourself against many of today’s attacks.

For details on how to browse the Internet safely, see the June 2013 Office of Information Security Cyber Security newsletter.
